The People’s Disruption: Platform Co-ops for Global Challenges
Platform co-ops have emerged in areas like child care, art, journalism, transportation, social media, and food. Now, it is time to determine in which sector this business model works best and develop strategies for turning these experiments into robust answers to pressing challenges. How can public policy spur and protect cooperative platforms? What kinds of financing and legal support do they need?
The first platform cooperativism event in 2015 popularized the idea, and the second event in 2016 brought together co-op and union leaders to push the model forward. This third event zeroes in on ways that platform cooperatives can help to address some of the world’s most urgent challenges. The fairer digital economy we need is already emerging everywhere around us.

05 Lecture - Joseph Blasi
In order to expand broad-based worker ownership in platform cooperatives, it is necessary to pay attention to Federal and State tax and credit policies on businesses. Both spend trillions of dollars of tax payer funds to support businesses that concentrate wealth and it is time to reform these policies to encourage new broadly owned businesses.
Joseph Blasi is the J. Robert Beyster Distinguished Professor at Rutgers University School of Management and Labor Relations and Director of the Fellowship Program on Employee Ownership and Profit Sharing. He is author of The Citizen’s Share (Yale University Press), an economic history of the “share” ownership idea in American history.
